DayTwo: Multiplying Decimals

Find out how much the designated number of shares would cost for each stock below. You can find all of the stock prices here. Make sure you print this worksheet so you can turn it in.

Show the multiplication on the back of this sheet for five problems, and then you can use a calculator or the computer to do the rest.
